I watched a little coverage of the wildfires in California and some seem to be very close to your corner of the world. It is becoming a terrible annual event. David M.

I can just see you walking through here and sitting on the bench reading, and taking unique pictures with your trusted camera. And what wonderful pictures they are. Enjoy the season, Carola. : )<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383213396413989191.post-2109724526129950512019-10-25T18:28:31.740-07:002019-10-25T18:28:31.740-07:00That top photo looks like a beautiful place to be....That top photo looks like a beautiful place to be.

This is a beautiful poem, though, even in the translation so I can only imagine how beautiful it would be in its original language. I love the “allee” in fall - I’m not quite sure we have the right word for that, note really a sidewalk. Hmmm.

What is usually lost is nuance, subtle aspects of a language that are extremely difficult to interpret in a way that imparts the original intent. I can only imagine that poetry must be more complex on a scale of magnitude far greater. I remember the phrase "La Terre des hommes" used for Expo 67 in Montréal, whose English equivalent was "Man and his world." The French expression imparts a sweep of grandeur somehow, whereas the English one comes across almost mechanistically. I am very happy not to be a translator. I would fail on a monumental scale.David M.
